現代網路資訊發達，很多人習慣使用電子郵件，對傳統寄信方式反而陌生。寄信不一定非到郵局去不可，預先買好郵票，利用路旁的郵筒也可以寄信。綠色郵筒是普通平信，紅色郵筒則是寄限時信，以及航空信。要是你認為郵局寄掛號信，這樣郵局就會給你一張收據，作為信件查詢的憑藉。

With the well-developed Internet, people are used to using E-mail （electronic mail）rather than traditional ways of mailing. It is not necessary to go to the post office to post letters. You may purchase stamps in advance and mail them by using a mailbox on the street. The green mailboxes are for ordinary mails and as for the red ones are for specail deliveries and airmails. If your letters or documents are quite important and would like to make sure that they are mailed, it is better to mail them as registered mails in the post office. By doing so, you will have a receipt for inquiry your mail.
